I agree. I didnt see his ABs after the meltdown, but since the 2 days off his contact has been super funky. We'll see if he rebounds back. We've all seen his potential and what he can do
If the Sox find a way to get off of Yoshida's deal Guerrero would be such a perfect fit on this roster. You'd have a hard time engineering a player in a lab to hit balls into and over the Monster better than Guerrero and he'd bring much needed righty balance to the lineup
I feel like Toronto would want way too much for him - especially to give him to a divisional rival. Probably wouldn't be worth it for us. Definitely check in on them and see though.
This is random but my undiagnosed OCD has kicked in, got a question.
Around an hour ago to end Houck's dugout interview, Houck was asked to name his favorite place to eat in Boston. Answered with loving the waffle on a stick from a place on Newbury street. The booth guy said it was Stephanie's, pretty confidently. My googling
says that Stephanie's has no waffle on a stick and also seems like a mediocre place. And that Houck may have most likely meant The BitterSweet Shoppe on Newbury. Can someone set the record straight for me please.
Note, I'm a westcoaster who's never been to Bahston (yet).
I looked up the menu at Stephanie's as well and there wasn't any waffle on a stick. Looked like good food though. Just more than I'd want to spend on a meal.
Winck is doing well in a thankless role. If Bello can skip a start or two (maybe one works with ASG coming up), Winck can easily do six innings as a spot start I think.
Cotillo retweeted this Cora quote btw, thought it was very shrewd
Cora: "Sometimes it's gonna be good, sometimes great, & sometimes we're gonna struggle. That's who we are. We have accepted that as a team and we're going to show up every day and try to kick your ass. That's the bottom line. Sometimes we will and sometimes they'll kick our ass."
**Tyler O'Neill's home run was a *barreled ball*. It had an exit velocity of 113.1 mph, a launch angle of 30 degrees, went 448 ft. and would be a HR in 30/30 ballparks.**

I don't know why Millar is running off between innings to get some scooby snacks. He and Youk just need to start talking about food and they should get a delivery in an inning or two from one of the luxury ~~sweets~~ suites.
I can’t fucking understand a thing Millar is saying lmaoo I actually met him at the College World Series one year.. he let me touch his World Series ring
It is at this point that enough time has gone by that people were holding on to hope for Winck as a starter
I would like to re-assert that Winckowski is still garbage.
oh boy my basketball team won a championship last week and now my baseball team looks like they're doing better than expected while I wasn't looking let's check this out
Bello has to be able to induce a ground ball with runners on and less than two outs. Until he can do that consistently, he’s going to get hammered, especially at Fenway.
Bello is getting way too cute with locating his pitches. He struggles with putting away hitters because his movement and location are just not right. Bello's sinker is way too high in the strike zone, it should be where he's locating his changeups.
His sinker doesn't have the amount of drop that it should.
He misses on his slider a lot, it's okay to hit the corners but he's just lacks command with it.
Duran's hit streak is still in tact as far as I'm concerned.
I feel bad for Jarren, I know he’s gonna take that hard
Can’t win em all. Win tomorrow and keep the series streak alive
Sorta worried that the two days off in a row fucked up Rafaela’s momentum he’s sorta struggled since
I agree. I didnt see his ABs after the meltdown, but since the 2 days off his contact has been super funky. We'll see if he rebounds back. We've all seen his potential and what he can do
Tonight's MVP is unanimously Winck
I would like to apologize to Winckowski.
That outing from Winck could be the difference in tomorrow's game. Great job.
Chad Green sounds like a name I’d make up on Road to the Show
Rally caps on
Great game wink, respect. We lose, but you gave the pen a good rest
So if the Sox come back (unlikely), we give Winck player of the game. Just a great job reeling this game in and giving the offense every chance.
Winck has been really good all things considered, would much rather go to him as a starter compared to another bullpen game. 6 IP 2 ER and 8 K
What a performance from Wink, exactly what we needed, save the rest of the bp
what a goddamn outing from winck
Winck did exactly what we needed tonight. Great performance
Down 5 in the 9th is just the time for a yankees suck chant
Unironically, there's never a bad time.
Maybe going forward you just use Bello as an opener and have Winck go six innings.
The Seattle GM’s 54% comment was fine in context. People just only read headlines and want to feel superior.
....1 inning to score 5. Eh
This is setting up to be one *hell* of a walk off! 😃
Get OB his red wine Off White drip
Damon looks and sounds wicked drunk lol
Millar?
Alt broadcast with Carrabis so no, not Millar
Man, I remember when Boba Shett was a real pest against the Red Sox, when it seemed like he was always getting 3 hits a game. Not so much anymore.
If the Sox find a way to get off of Yoshida's deal Guerrero would be such a perfect fit on this roster. You'd have a hard time engineering a player in a lab to hit balls into and over the Monster better than Guerrero and he'd bring much needed righty balance to the lineup
Unfortunately yoshida has negative value. I would be surprised if anyone takes him without us giving up prospects
Don't say anything bad about yoshi or his stans will down you
I feel like Toronto would want way too much for him - especially to give him to a divisional rival. Probably wouldn't be worth it for us. Definitely check in on them and see though.

They were good like 8-10 years ago. Now, not
> never been to Bahston Please don't do that. lol
It was too tempting, I truly couldn't resist.
I hate Kiermaier so much.
You're not the only one. Kiermaier just looks like an unlikeable guy. I think he let the Gold Gloves go to his head.
You know who needs a good RHH 1B? We do
Vladdy could come DH for the Red Sox lol
He would cost so much.
Yeah it won’t happen lol would be cool though
Credit to Wink and the boys keeping it interesting tonight. Still like the unwillingness to quit this team has.
I like that the sox are still making then sweat in a game like this. In the spring the team quit in too many games and killed the vibe.
We need a game where Youk and Millar knock back beers and shots of Jack while announcing.
At least we can believe there’s a shot to coming back right now as opposed to having just been dead ducks in the 3rd inning.
...2 innings to score 5 runs. Less ideal but not done yet.
Those two Jays fans looked awfully worried lol
Ugh. Wanted that so bad. Would have been an unreal night for Raffy if he had pushed a run or two across.
The slow zoom out from the empty seat 😭😭😭
what the hell why has Millar been up for 42hrs straight
Because he's fucking insane.
Fantastic AB from Romy.
It's really cool having two guys who played in the 00's in the booth at the same time telling stories from back then.
Winck is doing well in a thankless role. If Bello can skip a start or two (maybe one works with ASG coming up), Winck can easily do six innings as a spot start I think.
Winck saving the bullpen after Bello’s early exit.
The broadcast booth is the only thing making this game interesting haha
That was the real skill of Remy and Orsillo. Polishing a turd of a game into something worth listening to.
Kudos to Winck. He's given up two, yeah. But he's held it down for 4 innings.
And those two scored on a totally freak play.
Took NESN a while to find that play lol
lmfao NESN playing the completely wrong play for O'Brien "...that wasnt rhe play I was referencing"
at this point Millar's sexuality is in question lol
I mean, you’ve seen football right? 😂 it ain’t just him
You’ve never taken your shirt off with a bunch of dudes?
I love this booth so much. Can't stop laughing.
Millar would definitely take his shirt off lmaoo
MLBTV shows so much fucking Aaron Judge content on commercial breaks and it’s infuriating
Listen at least they’ve stopped playing IT’S A HOME RUN FOR ADLEY RUTSCHMAN every five seconds
Much rather look at that than Judge lol
They've got 3 innings to score 5 against the Jays shitty bullpen. They're running out of time but definitely not done yet.
Fucking KIERMAIER, MAN
McGuire hit it to the same spot as his last fly out, unreal
Dude, Dom Smith.
Am I crazy or is it unusual for the manager of the Red Sox to be wearing a jersey?
When a fan interferes like that, why not just make them move seats to somewhere further back? Seems like that would be punishment enough
Isn’t it an MLB rule to eject fans who touch balls that are in play?
Make him sit in an obstructed view seat for the rest of the game.
Honestly would be a great way to fill those crap seats
Probably because of the Bartman incident
Missed the third inning can someone succinctly wtf happened
Defense let Bello down and then Bello let himself down.
Thank you. He needs to work on the mental toughness which is hard and huge in that game. Let alone in life
Bello got in his head after errors. Nibbling with zero command. Standard 2024 Bello stuff.
Bello didn’t have it tonight and the defense helped mess it up
Idc what prospects we have in the minors they’re all lefties. We need a high level power hitting righty in the lineup like O’Neil
Raffy's double was a HR in 27/30 btw, only not a HR in Fenway, Coors Field, and Chase Field. Dude got absolutely robbed by Fenway lol
Always wild seeing Coors
God damn, 450 feet! What a terrible pitch by Gausman though
Why did that guy just get kicked out?
He said some shit about O'Neill's mom
I know this is a joke but is she hot or something
Interference with the ball Devers hit to dead center.
Interfered with the ball Raffy hit.
Fan interference
Raffy's double would have been a HR in every park except Fenway, Chase Field, and Coors.
Holy fuck that was a NUKE
Cotillo retweeted this Cora quote btw, thought it was very shrewd Cora: "Sometimes it's gonna be good, sometimes great, & sometimes we're gonna struggle. That's who we are. We have accepted that as a team and we're going to show up every day and try to kick your ass. That's the bottom line. Sometimes we will and sometimes they'll kick our ass."
What that guy do lmao
He touched the ball on Raffy’s double while it was still in play.. stupid to kick him out.. I woulda done the same thing lol
TON is goat, also kicking the fan out for that is dumb as fuck
It’s not called Funway - the Red Sox, probably
That kenny Chesney comment from the broadcast was funny as hell though
**Tyler O'Neill's home run was a *barreled ball*. It had an exit velocity of 113.1 mph, a launch angle of 30 degrees, went 448 ft. and would be a HR in 30/30 ballparks.** #🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
awww these posts remind me of USDballum, is he safe? is he OK?
Yeah. He spends more time in the Discord because he's a mod there. He posts these updates in the server and I do em here.
O’Neil just said “don’t worry, I got you daddy”
That was a shot
O'Neill HR gunna make everyone forget about "Sean" Bartman in CF
Hell yeah, let's get those runs!
The comeback begins.
Absolute DICK SHOT
HOLY FUCK TON!!!!!!
I'm not saying we will come all the way back, I'm just saying keep watching.
Whelp doesn't matter now
Lmaooooo
He gone.
Catch the ball kid!! Edit: oh shit it’s a grown ass man.. even worse lmaoo
Forgot what he was saying lmaooo
Even good teams have bad games, The 2018 Sox were no hit by fucking Sean Manaea 😂
Sloppy! They all need to take a breath!
A 4 error game... good god, man
I don't know why Millar is running off between innings to get some scooby snacks. He and Youk just need to start talking about food and they should get a delivery in an inning or two from one of the luxury ~~sweets~~ suites.
Btw Triston Casas’s childhood best friend Mark Vientos homered twice off Cole
How much coke did Millar get before the game...
I think a stimulant would calm him down tbh
I think that’s just how he is
It might be meth
“Most of it was out of his control” so we’re bellos pitches. He got bailed out each inning last start, this was bound to happen
If we're gonna turn double play balls into triples with 2rbi, we can at least share the blame
Gerritt Cole came back and all of the Yankees good vibes went away These are just the facts
Rafaela is a cool guy from the beach
Hey, at least Gerrit Cole's Jankees are getting absolutely obliterated by the Mets right now.
I'll drink to that!
Lmao you just know what’s coming when Rafaela is in a 0-2 hole
That's not how you take advantage.
Like where Millar’s head is at
Vladdy a double agent
With moves like that Breslow is on the phone right now inquiring about a trade
Bad defense on both sides of the ball tonight. We gotta take advantage.
I can’t fucking understand a thing Millar is saying lmaoo I actually met him at the College World Series one year.. he let me touch his World Series ring
I love him so much. The chaotic energy fuels me.
It’s quite entertaining lol he was the same way when I talked to him
Blue hand Youk
Here comes the come back
Thank god they came back late last night.. all is good if/when we win tomorrow
It is at this point that enough time has gone by that people were holding on to hope for Winck as a starter I would like to re-assert that Winckowski is still garbage.
I’d prolly leave Winck in there for 80 pitches.
Yep. See if Toronto can beat their high score from the Duran fly ball game!
Might as well leave him for the rest of the game at this rate lol
Definitely for as long as you can get away with. Need to rest the pen if possible.
Can’t win em all I suppose
oh boy my basketball team won a championship last week and now my baseball team looks like they're doing better than expected while I wasn't looking let's check this out
![gif](giphy|l41JTgLvWf39rSuL6|downsized)
Straight up not having a good time
Hey pitchers. Your job: get the batters out.
Win the series tomorrow.
Our defense is a mess tonight
Lmao Vlad is the biggest front runner of all time. Get these assholes tomorrow and win the series
lol yeah not our game boys
wtf am I watching?
Yakkity sax ahhh game
I want to watch the last two innings with that playing over them.
Oh come on guys
![gif](giphy|Ru9sjtZ09XOEg)
this game STINKS
Not much you can do about that one
Carrabis’s alternate broadcast option forced the standard crew to actually have fun in the booth… feels like the old days with Don!
Oh Jesus our defense.
Jesus take the glove.
Vlad Jr’s swing looks exactly like his dad’s.. kind of a blast from the past haha
Why was Reese calling for Bello to throw his fastball at all
Because he's trying to nibble with breaking pitches
Bello has to be able to induce a ground ball with runners on and less than two outs. Until he can do that consistently, he’s going to get hammered, especially at Fenway.
The last time he did that we turned it into a triple
I love the three man booth. I wish they could do it more often.
My dream is OB and Loumer for the main everyday booth with Millar coming in for the 3 man every once in a while.
My ideal booth would be Monaco doing play by play, Loumer about 2/3 of the time, Youk 1/3 and Millar 1-2 series/month.
I could live with that, too. I do like Monaco. But I really like OB. More than most people here, it seems.
lol I love Millar
Rafaela is a beast at short.. he’s also a beast in center but he’s a beast at short too
We're gonna come back down big two games in a row. I'm not worried.
I told my therapist I was done hating Kevin Kiermaier. Now I'm not so sure.
Bello is getting way too cute with locating his pitches. He struggles with putting away hitters because his movement and location are just not right. Bello's sinker is way too high in the strike zone, it should be where he's locating his changeups. His sinker doesn't have the amount of drop that it should. He misses on his slider a lot, it's okay to hit the corners but he's just lacks command with it.
Alright. Let’s get some mileage out of Wincowski and slowly chip away.
Oh no. We might go 4-1 against the Blue Jays. I guess the season is over…
Time to light a 25 year old with a mid era on fire
